every rosebush has its thorns

january embers, my heart burns there too

you have set me alight, given me back my spark, given me my reason.

eyes like the ocean, soul as pure as pearl, your touch is electric.

you shocked me back to life, a feat no doctor could ever preform, you make every morning bearable.

every breath worth it.

i awake to see your angelic face across from mine, dark hair spread out around your freckles, you twitch lightly in your sleep.

you give me a kind of love that can soothe any nightmare, a kind of rush that beats every drug.

your hand in mine makes my leg shake less, your smile makes my vision less foggy.

you kissed me and I coughed out sea water, you told me you loved me and I could breathe again.
